The book portrays scenes of the painful events that struck Lebanon during the 1980s and early 1990s from fresh perspectives, revealing different facets of the characters and uncovering some backgrounds of the incidents, positions, and alliances, both the constant and the changing. It sheds light on events shrouded in much ambiguity. It allocates enough space for the pivotal moments that significantly altered the course of events in Lebanon and its surroundings: from the May 17 Agreement to the March 12 Uprising to the tripartite agreement arranged by Syria among the Lebanese militias. The book also touches on the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union and its devastating economic, political, and security impacts on the Middle East, particularly Lebanon, Iraq, and the Gulf. It unveils the hidden aspects of Lebanese-Iraqi-Palestinian relations, knowing that the author was a key player as well as a witness and observer.
